Golden Seal by Eagle Peak Herbals is used internally for colds, infections, inflammations, hay fever, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, and various other problems. May also be applied directly to cold sores and diseased gums. The herb acts as a blood cleanser, tonic, and antiseptic. Soothing to all mucus membranes. Due to the scarcity and decline of wild Golden Seal, the plants we use are organically farm-grown, not wild-harvested.
